U.S. Coast Guard crews in an airplane, helicopter and patrol boat are searching for Frank Dalessandro, 52, a resident of Point Pleasant, said Petty Officer Nyx Cangemi. The U.S. Coast Guard and the New Jersey State Police Marine Services Bureau began their search for Dalessandro off of Point Pleasant Beach Wednesday after a family member called authorities because he failed to meet her for a scheduled lunch date. The Coast Guard received the report at 1:30 p.m. and a helicopter was on the scene three minutes later, said Cangemi. Soon after, the crew discovered an overturned orange kayak about nine miles off shore, he said, adding that authorities have not confirmed that the kayak belonged to the missing boater. On Wednesday night, the Air National Guard also searched for about two hours, said Cangemi. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
